That's prime factors.
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 72
It is: 2*2*2*3*3 = 72
It is: 23*32 = 72
12(6 + 5)
divide the known factor into the product if stated x times 8 = 72 x = 72 divided by 8 x = 9
72 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 or 23 x 32
The highest factor of 72 is 72.
72 is not a factor of 18; 18 is a factor of 72.
3234 = 2 x 3 x 72 x 11
The highest common factor of 36 and 72 is 36
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 72
They have no common factor so the LCM is their product, ie 72
